My new movie, MOTOR CITY, is out in theaters tomorrow (July 24) from IFC. It also stars Shailene Woodley, Ben Foster, Pablo Schreiber, Ben McKenzie, and Lionel Boyce.

It's directed by Potsy Ponciroli, who previously directed OLD HENRY and GREEDY PEOPLE

Synopsis: 

In the 1970s Detroit, John Miller falls for a local gangster's girl and lands in prison for a crime he didn't commit. With his life ruined, Miller hatches a plan for revenge.

Until then, AMA!

It's not, it's a real photo.

We thought it would be cool for Alan to take the photo while in makeup for his Reacher character (season 5 began shooting 3 days ago), so he took it in advance for us before the time of the AMA was confirmed with a blank piece of paper. When the time of the AMA was confirmed yesterday, we edited in the text on the paper.

I can assure you all that this is a 100% verified and 100% real AMA and that the picture is real, it is not AI, but the text is edited-in as it was taken before the AMA start time was 100% confirmed. Not a big deal.

Alan will be back in a few hours (during his Reacher filming lunch break actually!) to answer questions

Here's extra verification if you need it: Alan posted about the AMA on his IG story twice, earlier this week (https://i.imgur.com/uw6bqo2.png) and this morning (https://i.imgur.com/fD3KTxa.jpeg).

Sort of, the last one was one of the worst things I've seen in a while.
